Abstract (en)
[origin: US5425185A] A shoe has an upper made of resiliently flexible materials, a central rotary closure arranged on a lateral side of the upper in an area in which the lateral malleolus of a wearer's foot is received, at least one tightening element connected to the central rotary closure, the at least one tightening element having a front tightening section which extends forwardly from the central rotary closure and a rear tightening section which extends rearwardly from the central rotary closure, and front and rear pull straps. The front pull strap is coupled to the front tightening section and runs obliquely forward therefrom over an instep area of the upper to an end thereof which is fastened to the upper. The rear tightening section is coupled with the rear pull strap, and the rear pull strap runs rearwardly therefrom, around a heel portion of the upper to a medial side of the shoe where, preferably, it passes over a guide element on the upper and then extends obliquely forward therefrom over the instep area of the upper to an end thereof which is fastened at the lateral side of the shoe. By this construction, the central rotary closure is able to close the shoe by shortening the tightening element and open the shoe by increasing the free length of the tightening element by applying and releasing tension on the pull straps.
